Cause & Effect / Fishbone Diagram - Find & cure causes, NOT symptoms I

Why use it?
To allow a team to identify, explore, and graphically display, in increasing detail, all of the possible causes related to a problem or condition to discover its root cause(s).

What does it do?

  • Enables a team to focus on the content of the problem, not on the history of the problem or differing personal interests of team members
  • Creates a snapshot of the collective knowledge and consensus of a team around a problem. This builds support for the resulting solutions
  • Focuses the team on causes, not symptoms
